Did you get Yoshi popcorn bucket?We didn't, but really wanted to! We already have that awesome Stitch popcorn bucket lol
April 3Apr 3 CB Team I still need to watch the first one, so probably won't make it to theaters this time around. Those popcorn buckets do look great though! Hope you enjoy the movie!
April 3Apr 3 CB Team I'm going tomorrow! I actually liked the first one; it's the movie equivalent of a sugar rush.

If I had unlimited money I would have bought them all 😂 a person could easily spend an entire paycheck at that counter.

Hope you enjoy the movie!They were both great movies, but the first one had a little more heart to it since it had to tell the origin story, but they were both really fun! You should watch the first one and see if you like it.

Part 2 has a callback to pretty much every since Mario title that I'm aware of lol It did some deep callbacks to even Mario 2 on NES, which was a nice touch.
April 3Apr 3 Author CB Team This movie really made me want to play the original games for NES and Super NES, what are the best ways to play them these days? We have a Switch, but not sure if they have a game pack for all of the old games.

We also were going to buy the Toothless one, and whenever Toy Story 5 and Supergirl hit I'm sure we'll be picking those up too.
April 3Apr 3 CB Team I was looking forward to going to see it with my kids, but they betrayed me and went with their grandma instead. Very rude if you ask me. I'll likely hold out until it hits a streaming service at this point.
April 6Apr 6 CB Team I would love to, but I don't think I'm going to be able to make it to the theater in time. I did manage to snag a yoshi popcorn bucket on pre-order, so I'm pretty excited about that and will be watching the movie was soon as it hits digital!

Yes, things happen for no reason. But it's a nostalgia blast, it's beautiful to look at, and it's casual fun that lands the thrills. Honestly, there's nothing wrong with that.

If you like retro gaming, the subscription is definitely worth it.

Honestly, there's nothing wrong with that.I like how it brought up lore that even I had forgotten from way back! It makes me want to learn more about the early days. I grew up playing those games but never finished most of them.

April 8Apr 8 CB Team It's going to be much better in theaters than at home. It's reliant on that visual splendor to keep you engaged, but it's so great at doing so that it deserves to be seen on the biggest screen you can.

I'm still going to watch it at home when it comes out, but it was nice to see it the first time on the big screen.
